Edit and Backup your Contacts on Your PC
iDEN Phonebook Manager is a free PC application from Motorola that lets you edit your iDEN phone’s contacts on a Windows PC. It also lets you backup and restore your contacts, transfer them from one iDEN phone to another and print out a contact list. iDEN Phonebook Manager requires a data cable and works with Windows 95, 98, NT, ME, XP and Vista. I don’t know if it works with Windows 7.
Note: If you have USB connection problems using XP or Vista, please follow these instructions from the ReadMe file.
Go to device manager by right-clicking on “My Computer” and select “Manage”. Select “Device Manager” on the left pane. Then select “Universal Serial Bus controllers” on the right pane and expand it. Double-click on “USB Root Hub”. This will bring up the “USB Root Hub Properties” dialog. Go to the “Power Management” tab and un-check the “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”. Click “OK”. Repeat this process for every USB Root Hub under the “Universal Serial Bus Controller”. Reboot the computer. Then retry the operation.

THIS SITE ROCKS WHEN I TRYED ON MY PHONE IT SAID THERE WAS NOTHING 4 IT , HERE LOTS & LOTS THANKS
it’s actually: s=2#777 many will have probs without the #777 included. love ur site. filled my i465 with TONS of goodies from here! mad thx Dennis!
I have a i856 w/boost service. The phone shows I can use it as an usb data modem, however it does not connect to my pc running XpPro, Ver 5.1, sp3. I tried using software from servicemyphone.motorola.com what else do I need to do?
I haven’t tried it myself but it’s supposed to be possible to use any Motorola iDEN phone as a modem. It works but is very slow, even slower than dialup.
To tether with a cable you need to download the USB drivers from Motorola: http://servicemyphone.motorola.com/iden/support/software/usbistallation.jsp.
Installing the drivers will to make the phone appear as a “Motorola iDEN USB Modem”. Create a new dialup connection using that modem and the dial string S=2

my only internet connection is thru my tethered clutch. its not hard to set up. dennis’s instructions are right except the modem should dial s=2#777 . and my settings are just #777 without the s=2. everywhere ive read says s=2#777 but the s=2 precursor is isnt needed. i only get speeds bouncing between 1kps to 6kps so dont expect much. the cdma phones oughta be able to acheive bout 20kps. at least thats what i was getting prior to my move to boost. i know it works on xp sp2, vista, but its contrary on 7.
I have had my i875 for about 3 years and have NEVER been able to do anything with it but make calls, and I hate trying to get the characters I want on this phone, so I never had a contact list. This app is the FIRST thing that has EVER worked on this piece of crap! THANK YOU!!!
Now, since I finally found someone that can make something work on an i875, is there a way I can delete unread messages that were sent to me, (that’s what invoked my search to begin with), because I don’t read them unless they are free ones from boost because I don’t want to waste the money on childish crud? Question 2, is there a way to delete the worthless java junk on here? And question 3, How can I get MY OWN created ring tones and wall paper on here? … Again, thanks for something USEFUL that actually WORKS!
You get charged for messages whether you open them or not.
To delete a Java App, highlight it, press the menu key and choose “Deinstal”.
Look in the Tutorials section for instructions on loading your own ringtones and wallpapers.
I figured out my connectivity problem using this program so I thought I’d share the info and save some from a minor headache. If you are using a USB cable, go to settings; connections; usb; select application access… back out. That simple…ur done;-)
